[alsa-devel] [PATCHv3 1/2] ALSA: fix emu8000 DRAM sizing for AWE64 Value

[David Flater]

Applicable to any kernel since 2013:

The special case added in commit 1338fc97d07a did not handle the possibility
that the address space on an AWE64 Value would wrap around at 512 KiB.  That
is what it does, so the memory is still not detected on those cards.

Fix that with a logic clean-up that eliminates the need for a special case.

History:
2015-01-11  v3: In response to feedback from Takashi Iwai,
              Patch 1: Repeat code to avoid goto middle of loop.
              Patch 2: Use pr_info not printk.
            Retested on CT4390 (4 MiB) and CT4380 (512 KiB).
2015-01-09  v2: In response to feedback from Takashi Iwai,
               1. Optimize for diff size.
                 1a. Use goto to avoid indenting and repeating code.
                 1b. Jettison new debugging printouts.
               2. Split printk into second patch.
            Retested on CT4390 (4 MiB) and CT4380 (512 KiB).
2015-01-08  v1 patch sent to LKML, Alsa Devel and maintainers.  Tested on
            unexpanded CT4390 (4 MiB), CT4520 (512 KiB), and CT4380 (512
            KiB).
